Question

Education cuts(削減) have become routine (慣常的) over the past few years, which has made it difficult for students to learn. The results of a survey of 1,850 Los Angeles County high school students show just how much the cuts are affecting students.
Because of teacher layoffs (解雇), class sizes at some high schools have risen to 50 students — even in math and English classes. Some 37 percent of students report that they sometimes don’t have a desk to sit at. Sixty-seven percent say crowded classrooms make them feel the teachers don’t have enough time to teach, and 30 percent say they’ve not been able to join in a program because it’s no longer offered at their school.
At a time when technology is an important skill, 52 percent of students say there aren’t enough computers. Or they’re often broken, and there’s no one to fix them. Fifty-one percent say they’ve had to share textbooks with a classmate because there aren’t enough copies to go around. Fifty-seven percent say they’ve had to copy information because their school doesn’t have enough paper to make copies.
“We have only one science teacher for the entire(整個(gè)的) high school,” writes Felix Ruano, a 16-year-old student. He goes on to describe how that teacher, who is only qualified to teach chemistry, is teaching physics — or, at least, is trying to do so. “He shows physics videos and we teach ourselves from our textbook,” says Ruano. And, as has been seen elsewhere, “all but one of the restrooms” at Ruano’s school “have been closed because we don’t have enough people to clean them.”
Ruano notes that though faced with the challenges, 97 percent of students say they plan to go to college. But without “properly trained teachers and the best resources,” says Ruano, it’s not likely that every student will achieve that goal. “Unless schools fix these problems,” he says, “students could lose hope.”

Answer 1

 
【小題1】D
【小題2】A
【小題3】B
【小題4】C

解析試題分析：本文講述的是教育費(fèi)用的削減對學(xué)生產(chǎn)生的影響。
【小題1】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)class sizes at some high schools have risen to 50 students
they sometimes don’t have a desk to sit at.和Fifty-one percent say they’ve had to share textbooks with a classmate說明ABC三項(xiàng)都是這樣的結(jié)果，只有D項(xiàng)文章沒有提及。故D項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】A 推理題。根據(jù)He goes on to describe how that teacher, who is only qualified to teach chemistry, is teaching physics — or, at least, is trying to do so.說明這里的qualified是指有資格教化學(xué)，故A正確。
【小題3】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)3,4行Ruano notes that though faced with the challenges, 97 percent of students say they plan to go to college.說明很多的學(xué)生都計(jì)劃上大學(xué)，故B正確。
【小題4】C 主旨大意題，根據(jù)文章第一段Education cuts(削減) have become routine (慣常的) over the past few years, which has made it difficult for students to learn.說明本文講述的是教育費(fèi)用的削減導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果傷害了學(xué)生的利益，故C項(xiàng)正確。
